Volkanovski was put out cold in the second round and he didn't do much to ilia

While Max actually had his moments and he was hurting ilia at some points, he was winning the fight so far imo, also it was a tko, not a KO

He did better than Volka who is coming off of 2 knockout losses now and if their whole point for their rematch is his title reign, Max had a previous better title reign

I dont think any of them should get a rematch right now, there are other interesting contenders and fun match ups for ilia such as Lopes, Yair, Sterling, etc
 
Come on Max man has had so many goes at the title now and just got finished, in what world does he deserve a rematch

I don’t really agree with the Volk rematch either tbh

Max literally wasn't winning the fight until he got KOd lol. He was down 2-0 on two cards and 1-1 on the other. And he was losing the third. Meanwhile Volk was up 1-0 on all three cards and looked to be doing just as good in the 2nd.

I wouldn't say Max's title reign was better than Volk's either. Max defended against Aldo, who had declined a fair bit, but it was still a good win. Then he beat Ortega. Then completely undeserved Edgar. Then he lost to Top himself.

Top defended against Max, then Ortega, Max, Zombie, Max again, and finally Yair. The wins against Max alone make his title reign better than Max's.

If anything Max wins over Aldo made his title reign better than Volka's because Aldo is the GOAT of that division and Max put him out back to back on his prime

And wym Aldo was on a decline? That one punch fluke KO Mcgrgor got over him doesn't mean he was on a decline, besides that Aldo was like a whole decade undefeated, come on now
 
Volk was the several time defending champ, was on peoples top p4p list & has lost only 1 FW fight in his entire mma career to Ilia. I’d like to see him win another fight first & Ilia fight another FW, but he’s in line for a rematch before Max.
 
Max doesn’t deserve it and neither does Volk really … he got laid out by the LW champ and the FW champ

It’s just Topuria is a nice guy is all
 
Shara can do it if Izzy keeps ducking him.

UFC doesn't promote its fighters anymore and just wants to recycle their big names. Meaning getting new blood into the top ranks or title pictures is an impossible task. Gone are the days of giving young talent rapid title shots. Unless you come into the UFC a two division Glory champion like Pereira the UFC seems almost disinterested in promoting anyone and Pereira was not young at all but already an established veteran.

UFC knows the window for older fighters beyond their prime is small so they put them in big fights and title fights until they absolutely cannot justify doing so anymore. They are really testing this with Stipe currently for how much the fans tolerate pushing the established names versus an 'up and comer' like Aspinall. Aspinall who should be receiving endless UFC promotion but is like an afterthought.

It hasnt been tolerated very well to be honest.
 
Max was close to solving the puzzle then he got clipped. Topuria doesn't recognize kicking setups. He ate multiple knee stomps in a row. Those aren't part of Max's game either.

Volk should have a better showing but he is aging. If Volk gets injured then the winner between the human bookbag and fanny pack should get a shot. I don't think Topuria's grappling is going to be all there.

They promote the hell out of Aspinall. He headlines his own show. I think they gave him 4-5 UK shows already. I think the promotion is just playing it safe. Jones is set to leave. It's not good to have him fight Aspinall. If he wins then Aspinall is a dud. It's easier for them to say Jones ducked Aspinall.

This is a fucking joke.

Dana has been glazing Jones the whole time. They havent said shit about Jones ducking Aspinall. They treat Aspinall like hes not in the title picture.

Evloev and Aljo would give Ilia a much harder fight than Volk and Diego Lopes imo
